Default How do you deal with a spouse that has a learning disability? - 01-02-2009, 07:24 AM

First of all I love my wife and she will be my forever queen; however there are times when her learning disability can become frustrating. Example, my wife will ask me questions with a"very broad description"however is unable to pin point an exact question; it is very hard to answer. I always try to figure out her exact question and at times she doesn't even know her own question. Well, don't want to confuse you.How do you deal with a spouse or a partner with a learning disability?

I have a similar situation. I simply stay in a playing field that she is familiar with. I love her and don't expect her to be a rocket scientist any time soon. Take Care

It would help if you had a more specific example. I mean, the only thing I can really say is that you know her the best. I know I can say"well, just be patient"but I'm sure that's probably easier said than done. Maybe you can ask her to keep a memo pad so she can like, write down her thoughts instead of forgetting and having to scramble for the concept she was thinking about. I know that's bland advice but I really can't think of anything else. Good luck.

It takes patience and a very strong minded individual that has this patience to oversee and too care for this person that is disabled.Hang in there and you will learn something new. It make you very special too!I was raised with a disabled brother, deaf and could not hear and I will tell you it was the hardest job I ever had in my life was to learn my brother and understand. It took years and now me and my brother rock on and party together. I can understand him and talk with him in sign language.It made me a better person and truly you will overcome with your wife and you will see another side that will light up your life with Angels I promise you. Hang in there and be patient. You are under Gods seige.
